Today was another crazy day. I headed over to Joel and Shosh's at 9:45 this morning to babysit. My plan was to go straight from their house to Nora's to drop off the DVD of Julia's montage afterwards. While I was babysitting, I got 3 calls from Nora, 2 from her husband, and 1 from the DJ for the Bat Mitzvah about coordinating dropping off the DVD. Apparently none of them talk to each other, it's ridiculous! So what the DJ and I ended up deciding (and I later conveyed to Nora and her husband via email when I got home) is that I will drop the DVD off at his office on our way up to Chattanooga tomorrow, since it's basically on the way. I also now have to call Nora AND her husband to let them know when I've dropped it off successfully :-P
So anyway, babysitting was fine, Eli was adorable as usual, and Talia slept for most of the time I was there. Shosh had put her down before I got there (around 9:15), and she didn't wake up until around 12:30! Then she was up for a few hours, but went to sleep again around 3:20 or so, just a few minutes before Joel got home. All I have to report from today (and actually yesterday too, but I forgot to mention it in my post last night) is that it absolutely melts my heart when Eli calls me "Auntie Tara"! Yesterday when I was leaving, he was going down for a nap, and he said "night night Auntie Tara" <3 Today he kept wanting me to "help" him with his toy (which he's perfectly capable of using by himself, lol), and he kept saying, "help, Auntie Tara!", and it was SO. FREAKING. CUTE.
I was all stressed out when I got home, mostly because of trying to juggle Nora, Spencer (her husband), AND the DJ, AND still had to pack and plan for our trip. When Marcus got home, we debated for a while before deciding to forego the gym tonight in favor of devoting our evening to planning our trip. I printed out a whole bunch of stuff, from directions to coupons to my voucher for the hotel. We also looked at restaurants online and decided which ones we want to go to.
Since I'm not bringing my computer with me, I won't be able to update every night while I'm gone. We're coming back Sunday afternoon(-ish), so I promise to write about our trip either Sunday night or Monday! I'm so excited, I can't wait to get away for a couple of days! I need a break.

Busy Busy Bee
Today was another busy but productive day. I got up early (7:30 am) to go babysit for Eli and Talia while Shosh went to the doctor. Talia was pretty fussy, but it was only for a couple of hours, so it was fine. Eli was in such a goofy mood, it was the cutest thing! My favorite moment was when I was trying to get Talia to stop crying, and I kept saying "What's the matter, Talia?", and after a while, I said it one time and Eli repeated, "whassa matter, Talia?" I cracked up, lol, he is SO CUTE! :-)
Anyway, after Shosh got home, we hung out for a little bit, and then I came home. I got home around 1:15 or so, ate lunch, and then relaxed for a little bit. I decided that if I didn't hear back from Nora by 3:30, I was going to go ahead and finish Julia's montage - put it on DVD and everything. Of course, I never heard back from her, so I went ahead and did it anyway, then sent her an email asking if she and Julia had had a chance to look at the final montage yet and also asking if I could come drop the DVD off tomorrow afternoon (I'm babysitting again tomorrow, and Joel and Shosh's house is about halfway out to where they live, so I'd rather go right after babysitting than have to double back later in the evening). I said in the email that if I didn't hear back from her, I would assume that it's fine. I haven't heard back yet...we'll see if I have anything from her in the morning. If not, I'm totally just gonna go anyway, and if she's not home, I'll leave it in the mailbox :-P
Marcus got home before I finished the DVD. It took FOREVER to burn for some reason, but it finally finished, and I was able to create the label for it and everything. Marcus helped me out by creating an invoice for the project (we had a little argument because he wanted me to add in more stuff, and I told him no, because it wasn't what Nora and I had discussed, and he thinks I'm short-changing myself, but whatever), which I also printed out to take with me tomorrow. Then we ate dinner and watched the Braves game.
After the game, I got a facebook event invitation for my 10-year high school reunion. I am SO bummed out that I won't be able to go, because it's over Thanksgiving weekend, and we'll be in Florida this year (we've been in Maryland the last two years - we have a two years and two years arrangement, it's a little complicated). The nostalgia junkie in me has been looking forward to this reunion pretty much since graduation...and now I can't go :-( Although I have already gotten a couple of facebook comments from friends who also can't go, so that makes me feel a LITTLE better, that some of the people I'd want to see if I went aren't going to be there anyway.
Then Marcus and I played cards for a while. It's been a long time since we've done that, it was really nice (and fun!). I kicked his butt at gin rummy and crazy eights, and then he kicked my butt at casino (even though I skunked him the first round) - pretty much on par for us, haha ;-)
I think I'm going to head to bed early (as in, as soon as I finish writing this), because I'm exhausted and I have another long and busy day tomorrow.

You are getting sleeeeepyyyyy
Well, actually, *I* am getting sleepy. So this will be a short post.
I had kind of a slow start this morning, but once I got moving, I was fairly productive. I managed to pretty much finish up Julia's montage, and posted it to youtube around 12:30 pm. Then I pretty much just vegged for the rest of the afternoon.
When Marcus got home, we went to the gym, then came back and cooked dinner (yummy pasta again!) for our friends Cat and Drew, who came over around 7:30. They brought a delicious apple and blueberry pie for dessert, and we mostly ate and talked, and also played a quick game of Blokus (which they also brought). After they left, we cleaned up and started to get ready for bed.
Then I got an email from Nora (Julia's mom) about the montage. She liked it, but was wondering where the video clip was that I was supposed to add in. I did add it in, but apparently it got lost somewhere in the upload to youtube. So I had to go back and re-add it back in, and re-upload it to youtube. Thankfully, it worked this time, so I sent her the new link, and we shall see what she says in the morning.
And now I am going to bed, because I have to get up early tomorrow (7:30) to go babysit Eli and Talia. Goodnight all!

Manic Monday
Days like today are why the term "manic Monday" came about. I'm heading to bed early (as soon as I finish writing this, in fact) in hopes of recovering and catching up a little bit on sleep!
I woke up at 6 am this morning, and while I was attempting to fall back asleep, was startled awake again by a loud noise from somewhere outside (it sounded like a gunshot, but maybe that's just my imagination, since I haven't heard about any shootings...). After that, it took me a LONG time to fall back asleep, and when I finally did, I had a very unsettling dream about my car, in which it ended up having even more problems than those that were already there. Needless to say, I did NOT want to get up when my alarm went off at 8! But I had to, because I had a lot on the docket for today.
First order of business - took my car in to get the tire fixed. Luckily, they were able to plug the hole and didn't have to replace the tire, so I didn't have to pay anything! It also only took them about 20 minutes or so, which was nice. I brought my computer with me and worked on Julia's montage while they were fixing my car.
When I got home, I worked on the montage for a couple of hours longer. I got a lot done, and I'm HOPING to be able to finish it (or at least get really, really close to finishing it) tomorrow. We'll see how that goes, haha.
Then I just hung out for a while. Walked down and got the mail, of which there was a TON - I guess we forgot to get it on Saturday, haha. When Marcus got home, we took out the trash, then ate dinner. We were both feeling lazy, so we just kind of grabbed whatever out of the pantry. I had a tuna pack and he had a bowl of cereal! Then we watched Jeopardy together, then I watched Secret Life (can't wait for next week's season finale!), and we watched the new episode of Millionaire Matchmaker together. It was a rare episode where I actually liked both of the millionaires, haha, so that was fun. We also paid rent for next month and Marcus emailed his mom about houses and such.
So, it was a very busy and productive day, which leaves me feeling tired, but accomplished (which is a rare treat for me these days). Tomorrow should be another fun one, not much during the day other than finishing the montage, but after Marcus gets home it will be super busy!

TGIF!
I'm exhausted and so ready for the weekend!
Today ended up being much busier and more stressful than originally planned. I went over to Barnes & Noble this morning to try to find a good birthday present for Eli. I texted Shosh while I was there to ask whether he already had a few books, but eventually headed home for lunch. She finally texted me back after I got home, telling me that he doesn't have any of the books I mentioned, so after lunch, I headed back to Barnes & Noble and bought his present!
When I got home the second time, I had an email from Nora about Julia's photo montage. There was this video clip that they wanted to include, and we had communicated about my needing to pick it up from them. So at 3:30, I headed out to their house. I had plans with Rebeca at 7, but figured I had plenty of time, since I was just going to transfer this one video clip (which literally should take about 2 minutes). Well, long story short, I got stuck at their house for 2 and a half hours and was super late getting back for Rebeca. We were in touch the whole time, so it's not like she was here waiting for me, but I was super stressed out and pissed about the whole thing. I vented a lot already about this to Marcus and to Gabbie and now to Rebeca as well, so I'm not gonna write out the whole story again, but suffice it to say I am VERY glad I have the weekend to recover before I have to finish up the montage starting on Monday.
Anyway, Rebeca finally did get to come over, and we ate dinner (leftover pasta from last night) and watched a movie (40-Year-Old Virgin, which she had never seen!). It was the relaxing ending I needed to a stressful day. This weekend is actually looking pretty busy, but hopefully I'll get to sleep in and relax in addition to running all over Atlanta.

A More Productive Day
As I had hoped, today did turn out to be more interesting and more productive than yesterday. I got up around 8:15, which was already a better start than yesterday! Around 10 am, I headed over to get a haircut (yay for $6.99 haircut coupons!). The place was completely empty, so I was in and out in about 15 minutes. The lady who cut my hair was nice (I hadn't gone to this location before, but the coupon was only valid at certain locations), she talked a lot about her (adult) daughter. She did use a little hairspray and blowdry my hair without asking (normally I just let it air dry, and I don't use any product at all), which I wasn't too happy about, but for $6.99, I guess I can't really complain.
After I got home, I worked for about an hour on Julia's slideshow. It's getting pretty close to being done, which is nice. I was briefly interrupted by the apartment maintenance crew coming in to replace our air filter and inspect our smoke detector (this was scheduled maintenance that they had so nicely informed us of two days in advance - with a note stuck in our door that said they'd be coming "between 9 am and 5 pm"), but they were in and out in under 5 minutes. When I had finished working on the slideshow, I job searched some and did a few tasks on Mechanical Turk.
Around noon, my friend Marsha came over, as we had plans to go to lunch. We couldn't decide where we wanted to go, so she decided we would just get in the car and drive, and pick something we passed. We started off going to the Highlands, but the power was out (all the traffic lights were completely out, not even blinking red or yellow or anything, and the shops/restaurants didn't appear to have power either) due to the earlier storms. So we cut across Ponce to downtown Decatur, found a rare parking spot IN the square, and after filling up the meter with all the quarters, dimes and nickels we could dig out of our wallets, walked around debating where to eat. We eventually decided on Pita Pit, which was awesome because they literally had their nutrition information posted on the window! That made it really easy for me to input my lunch into the website I've been using to keep track of what I'm eating, which was nice.
After lunch, Marsha dropped me off back home, and I did some more Mechanical Turk tasks and just sort of hung out until Marcus got home from work. We went to the gym, and then ate a small dinner. My mom called shortly after that, so I talked to her for a while and had a nice little planning session for my parents' upcoming visit (weekend of August 20th). Then, I had promised Marcus earlier this week that we could watch an episode of Star Trek: Voyager tonight (he LOVES Star Trek, and I agreed to watch the series in order with him since it's available on Netflix), since we hadn't watched in a while, so we did that, and now I am sitting here writing this while he is working on a new character for his RPG tomorrow night.
My mom also mentioned that she and my dad have some photo scanning projects for me, which I already knew, but haven't been able to do because I didn't want to bring the photos down with me on a plane (these are OLD photos we're talking about, and they're just loose in boxes). Since they're driving down for their visit, they'll be able to bring them down safely, so I'll finally get to do that! We also briefly talked about Marcus and I possibly trying to plan a (driving) visit up there in October, when Marcus has two consecutive 4-day weekends (Thursday and Friday off) due to random Jewish holidays. I don't know how I feel about that, I mean, I'd love to get up there for a visit, but that time of year is always so crazy, between going to Florida for Marcus's grandfather's birthday, the Jewish holidays, and then Thanksgiving, I don't know if I really want to throw MORE travel into the mix. But we haven't been up there since mid-June, so it would be nice to go. And we still have to meet with our wedding photographer to plan out our album, so we have to get up there at some point to do that! So we'll see. I think it'll probably end up happening.
So, that's about it for today. I'm glad tomorrow's Friday! We don't really have any plans this weekend, so hopefully it'll be nice and relaxing! :-)

New Month, New Blog
Hello, world!
I have decided to try daily blogging, partially inspired by reading my friends' blogs, and partially just to give myself something to do each day. The first day of a new month seemed like as good a time as ever to start, so here I am. We'll see how it goes!
It's 9:40 am, and I've already had a fairly productive day. I was actually out of bed by 8:10 this morning (my alarm is always set for 8:00 am on weekdays, but sometimes I let myself doze until around 8:30 or even later), so that was a good start. It's always easier for me to be productive when I start a week off that way - the longer I'm lazy on Monday, the less productive I'll probably be for that entire week. So this is a good sign for this week! After I got up and ate breakfast (Cinnamon Toast Crunch, yum!), I job-searched a little bit, and actually applied to two jobs on Opportunity Knocks - all this before I even got dressed! I also certified for unemployment, as I do every Monday.
Plans for the rest of the day:
Anyway, that's about all that's going on right now. Like I said, I'm going to try to make this a daily blog, so hopefully I'll be back tomorrow. I was originally planning to post every night, so I could recap what happened that day, so maybe I'll even come back tonight, who knows. Until then, peace out, y'all!

I also certified for unemployment, as I do every Monday.
Plans for the rest of the day:
- Watch last night's "Men Tell All" episode of The Bachelorette. I couldn't watch it "live" because it was on at the same time as The Next Food Network Star - a show that I actually watch regularly, unlike The Bachelorette!
- Take out the trash. Marcus and I were going to do this yesterday, but the trash chute was broken, so it got pushed to today.
- Work on Julia's Bat Mitzvah slideshow. This is my current project from my side business - Timeless Treasures by Tara. The Bat Mitzvah is Labor Day weekend, and I need to have the slideshow finished by August 15th. I haven't worked on it in a few weeks, since I had a meeting with Julia and her parents and they told me that they'd be sending me a bunch more pictures to include. I told them they had until August 14th to send me pictures, so I've been waiting to have all the pictures before I continue working on the slideshow. They haven't sent me any new pictures in a couple of weeks, though, so I think it's probably safe to start working on it again!
- Email the leasing agent at Dunwoody Gables. Marcus and I have been apartment hunting again. Our lease here is up in January, and if they raise the rent (or even if they don't, but they probably will, since we're currently paying well under the market value of our floorplan), we won't be able to stay. I really don't want to leave, since I've lived here longer than I've lived anywhere else in my life except my parents' current house (we moved there when I was 12, after moving every 3 years of my life before that), but we really can't afford to stay. We found a 2-bedroom floorplan that we LOVE at Gables Metropolitan, but it's super expensive, so we can't afford it. However, a leasing agent at another Gables property we looked at told us that she had the same problem, and she found a floorplan at Dunwoody Gables that was similar (but smaller, and cheaper) to the Gables Met. one. So we went and looked, and sure enough, it is fairly similar! We went and looked at it last weekend, but we only saw a first floor unit. The second and third floor units have fireplaces (first floor ones don't), and only second and third floor units are available in our price range over the next couple of months. So I want to go back and look at one with a fireplace before we make any decisions.
- Read. I'm currently reading "The Wise Man's Fear", book two of the Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss. I haven't read any in over a week, though. I have been trying to go slowly with it, because I don't know yet when book three will be released, and I'd rather have as short a wait as possible! But the book is so good that every time I read, I end up reading at least 100 pages, so the only way I can slow down is to wait a while in between each time I read. I only have about 150 pages or so left in the book, so the next time I read might be the last for this book.
- Watch Secret Life tonight. This is my guilty pleasure tv show addiction - Secret Life of the American Teenager. I can't even explain why I like it, the writing is awful, most of the acting is equally bad, and these days it seems like most of the episodes are what I like to call "connector episodes", meaning that nothing important really happens in the episode, it just serves to connect one important episode to another. I still can't stop watching, though, haha.
Anyway, that's about all that's going on right now. Like I said, I'm going to try to make this a daily blog, so hopefully I'll be back tomorrow. I was originally planning to post every night, so I could recap what happened that day, so maybe I'll even come back tonight, who knows. Until then, peace out, y'all!
